The Village of Orland Park's Committee of the Whole convened on September 3, 2025, to discuss several key agenda items, including a significant amendment to the village's procurement policies.

The meeting began with a discussion regarding the need for a recommendation to the Board of Trustees concerning an ordinance amendment. The committee confirmed that this item was indeed on the agenda and decided to proceed without tabling the discussion.

Trustee De Lawlor moved to recommend the adoption of an ordinance that amends Title 1, Administration, Chapter 16, Procurement, specifically Section 1-16-7, which pertains to construction bidding and contracts. This amendment aims to establish criteria for determining responsible bidders for village construction projects. The motion received a second, prompting a call for further comments or questions.

The roll call vote followed, with the majority of trustees voting in favor of the motion. Trustee Healy was the only dissenting vote, while the remaining trustees, including Mayor Dodge, supported the amendment. The motion passed successfully, allowing the ordinance to move forward to the regular meeting for final consideration.

Following this discussion, the committee proceeded to consider the next agenda item, indicating a structured approach to the meeting's proceedings. The overall focus on procurement policy reflects the village's commitment to ensuring responsible and effective management of construction projects.
